zfs inherit -r isn't sticky, it just clears any locally set values in descendant datasets when run. Inherit isn't really the best name for the command either, because it doesn't set any value in the dataset, it removes any locally set properties. If a property isn't set in a parent, then it will inherit an unset value. For instance, if you were to do: # zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot:daily=true datapool/system all descendant datasets from datapool/system would have the snapshot property set, because they would inherit it. If you were to do: zfs inherit -r com.sun:auto-snapshot:dailyy datapool then the dailyy (double-y) value would be unset from the datapool dataset and all descendants. Because there isn't a default value, there wouldn't be anything to inherit and the value would be null. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
